The Principality of Damirez is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.337 billion Damirezians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mithras. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Damirezian economy, worth a remarkable 1,698 trillion Aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 127,334 Aureuses, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

Money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, third world countries are rich in "I Love Mithras" t-shirts, and the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast. Crime is totally unknown. Damirez's national animal is the Kemono Musume, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Damirez is ranked 90,127^th in the world and 7^th in Nova for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,364.75 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
